NAME
String::Unquotemeta - undo what quotemeta() does, nothing more nothing less
VERSION
This document describes String::Unquotemeta version 0.1
SYNOPSIS
use String::Unquotemeta;
my $japh = 'J.A.P.H.';
my $meta = quotemeta($japh); # J\.A\.P\.H\.
my $undo = unquotemeta($meta); # J.A.P.H.DESCRIPTION
This module provides one simple function, unquotemeta(), that undoes the escaping that quotemeta() does.
It handles undefined values, no values, too many values, etc the same way as quotemeta(). Think of it as quotemeta()'s evil twin.
unquotemeta() is exported into the calling name space unless you bring in the module without it's import() method being called:
use String::Unquotemeta (); # do not call import() == do not pollute my name space
my $undone = String::Unquotemeta::unquotemeta($string);
require String::Unquotemeta; # do not call import() == do not pollute my name space
my $undone = String::Unquotemeta::unquotemeta($string);INTERFACE
unquotemeta()
Takes one argument, the string to undo what quotemeta() did.
If no argument is given, then it uses $_ (like quotemeta()).
If an undefined argument is given, it returns '' (like quotemeta()).
DIAGNOSTICS
Throws no warnings or errors of it's own.
CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
String::Unquotemeta requires no configuration files or environment variables.
DEPENDENCIES
None.
